Hi,

I was trying to create a directory of private files that could only be accessed when a user logs in. To do this, I used a folder outside the web directory, and then php to access it, if allowed.

Here's an example:

function display_movie($file){

printf("<video id='movie' width='960' height='416' controls='controls' onerror='fix()'>
<source src='movie.php?file=%s' type='video/ogg; codecs=\"theora, vorbis\"'> </video>", rawurlencode($file));

}

This works great for images, but breaks the media player. Also, I've only tested this locally on a Linux machine.

Any ideas? Thanks.
